Food Review: Naturally More Peanut Butter

The all-natural Naturally More peanut butter certainly has a lot going for it on paper: It was named one of the 125 best packaged foods by Women's Health, has no cholesterol or trans-fats, and contains healthy essentials like flaxseed, flax oil, and omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. On top of these positive facts, the company boasts that its product has 25 percent more protein and 50 percent more fiber than regular brands. Is this the perfect peanut butter? See the product's nutritional information and my review when you

Nutritionally, this is definitely a twist on an old favorite: Beyond roasted peanuts, Naturally More contains wheat germ, flaxseed, flax oil, egg whites, omega-3 and omega-6. The fact that this peanut butter is fortified with heart healthy ingredients might make me overlook a slight taste deficiency, but I can't say that I'd be able to tell the difference between Naturally More and another natural brand. It tasted like creamy, delicious peanut butter — just the way it should be. I can't wait to eat it with my apple slices for a pre-workout snack, which motivates me to work out.

I got mine at Sam's Club. It's good stuff. Tasty. It has a grainy texture, which may be from the flax seeds.

Naturally More peanut butter was great. I just tried it for the first time and was really impressed. I consider myself a peanut butter afficionado - it's one of my favorite foods. Naturally More has a terrific flavor and texture.

This is the my far the best, most delicious peanut butter I have ever had. Who cares if it has a few egg whites mixed up in it. Some of you are all freaking out about that - half of the other junk we eat out there had God knows what in it.
Just eat some and enjoy!

Well, I've tried it, and what's strange about it to me is that it's too creamy, I can pretty much pour the stuff out of the container, and that after mixing it up.

I ADORE this peanut butter. It is best straight from a spoon or on a banana. Whenever I melt peanut butter onto a bagel, I usually choose Skippy Natural because it is most like the original 1950's type peanut butter but without partially hydrogenated oil.
I go through 1 jar a week of this Naturally More by dipping everything I eat into it... and spoons.. and sometimes my fingers if the jar is just for me and no one else!
Surprisingly - it tastes sweeter than other "naturals" like, smuckers natural, even though it actually has less sugar. How did they pull that off?

i've tried several 'natural' peanut butters and i haven't found the taste to be as good or satisfying as regular ones - so i'm interested to see how this one is. i know that you noted that the flavor is pretty similar, but i would have to think that with some of the added things in this, it would have the potential to taste better. i might be willing to give just one more natural alternative a try!

PS - only problem is that I can never find this in any store. A client gave me a jar a couple months ago and said she got it at Wal-mart of all places, but I couldn't find it in the store near me. Also looked for it at Trader Joe's last night expecting to see it, but no. Anyone know where to go? Whole Foods?? (but then it'll probably be $5!!)

I've had this before and as far as natural organic peanut butter goes, I really liked it. It does harden up a bit in the fridge, but I would just nuke it for a couple seconds in the microwave to soften it up before spreading. I love that the calorie count is so much lower than other peanut butters (usually 200 for 2 tbsp!)
Soniabonya, perhaps it's the less added sugar is why it has less calories? I don't have a jar in front of me, but I'm willing to be there's a lot more than 2g of sugar in those more popular mainstream peanutbutters like Jiff or Skippy - (or is it Skip and Jiffy ... ? I can never remember!) I wish Fit had put a comparison to one of those or something similar.
